There are several pigeons and several ravens in a poultry house. Aram counted pigeons and got 101. Bhanu counted ravens and got 19. Carl counted all the birds and got 114. It turns out that each of them got a result that is greater than the correct one by the same margin. How many birds are there in the poultry house

Respuesta :

Answer: There are 120 birds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x equal the margin of difference.

(101 - x) + (19 - x) = (114 - x)

120 - 2x = 114 - x

x = 6

The margin of difference is 6. Therefore there are 114 + 6 = 120 birds.
